Gazza_8 233 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 You are joking with regards the "tight" pitch theory? Stirling Albions pitch is a yard shorter in width than Ibrox. This is up there with the "huge" pitch at the Camp Nou myth' date=' which is basically the same size as most top flight pitches[/quote'] Camp Nou is a small pitch. Anyone who has been there would know that. People assume it's a large pitch because the tall, steep stands and the high TV gantry give off that impression. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tannadice is smaller than Stirlings pitch and I have never heard the pitch getting the blame there. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Found it (SFL website Pitch Dimensions:105m x 68m Compared to Pitch Dimensions:101m x 68m for Stirling Albion... Same width, but slight difference in length Edited October 8, 2012 by Darthter 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't often agree with you mate , but this is a joke of an excuse if ever i've heard one. There is no system for us, the players are lazy and look like the don't have a clue out there and the buck stops with the manager here. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 The width of the pitch is really pretty irrelevant considering that everything we did/tried on Saturday went straight down the middle - there was absolutely no width at all in the team. The Binos knew exactly how we were gonna play, and ensured adequate defensive cover in the required areas, which left no room for us to get a decent strike on goal. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an excuse that has been touted by many inc. coaching staff since we started in Div3. The facts show there is no excuse there. As for all the other excuses ie. Team gelling, match practice, just out of admin, new setups etc.....these have all now faded. The team should be able to work together by now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,302 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 maybe get those eyes tested then. Yeah, a "shyte" start to the domestic season, but an unbeaten run in Europe. "Player revolt" and an arrogant captain ... grand memories indeed, all PLG's failure of course ... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
